Hi, Maven can be viewed as a core and a concept with enormeous plugins to perform tasks. To Use plugin you have to declare it under <plugins> <plugin> tags as you do for dependencies. You must read plugin documentation to set parameters value used by it to perform the task. Please read http://maven.apache.org/plugins/index.html You put goal Parameters under <configuration> tag of <plugin> It is possible to bind plugin execution to a lifecycle phase (compile,generate-sources ...)
